Lindsay Lohan has signed on to play Nancy Pitman in the upcoming movie Manson Girls. Nancy Pitman  was a loyal member of the Charles Manson family and was present at the Sharon Tate murder. Lilo may have actually made a good choice with this one, although it’s doubtful that she’s got the chops to pull it off but we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Pitman grew up in wealthy household in Malibu, and at 16 she was introduced to Manson by a friend, according to published reports. She fell under his spell, moving in with him and becoming one of his most ardent followers. She was home with Manson on the night he dispatched members of his “Family” to the former home of ex-business associate Terry Mechler, where they ended up brutally killing actress Sharon Tate and four others.

Pitman, aka Brenda McCann, later became involved with the Aryan Brotherhood and served 18 months in prison after being convicted of being an accessory after the fact to murder. She later married one of her coconspirators, divorced and moved to Oregon with her two children.
